Check with your Graduate Program Coordinator to verify that all graduation requirements have been met. Only students who have been certified for graduation by the Graduate School and the Office of the Registrar may participate in the ceremonies. Students who have been certified for graduation are those students who have applied for graduation during the fall semester and who are currently enrolled in the remaining required courses to complete their degrees. Moreover, students who have completed degree requirements during any previous term are eligible to participate and must contact the Registrar’s Office.
